To combine the strength of efforts with emotional passion is to merge two separate disciplines with a thoughtful purpose. Traditional is nothing more than a term that seeks to define but does not shape one’s pursuit of artistic expression with insightful freedom to create. Integrating two goals that are both established without boundaries is to watch Live Painter Neal Barbosa's electrifying artistic energy expand on a canvas while a live band or musician plays. Neal Barbosa cannot be defined once he reaches for his paintbrush & the vibration from the stage swells underneath his feet sending a chilling wave throughout his body, allowing his fingertips to belong to the rhythm of creation. As if he is examining the harmony of a melody, he interprets music with strokes of a paintbrush without speaking, singing, rapping but playing an instrument that gives life to not only his passion for colors but the willpower of his beautiful motivation. Neal surrenders himself to his audience while hoping that it is understood that he is providing the absence of thought to life, to art, to music, to rhythm & love with an unscripted performance.
